A top five episode for me despite a major flaw in the premise.
The boys are invited to compete in the university Physics Bowl Trophy contest. As they practice, with a bemused Penny’s help, Sheldon makes it clear that he wants to play single handedly, leaving the other three with nothing to do.
They kick him off the team, replacing him with Leslie Winkle, who hates Sheldon as a misogynistic moron. Sheldon retaliates by getting a new team comprising of the cleaner, caretaker and another randomly found player, so he can play alone against the others.
The big problem here is the total absence of other teams. We go straight to the final without any heats or preliminary games for what is seen as a major contest.
Sheldon’s selfish plan backfires in very unexpected ways and Howard’s victory strip on winning is one of the funniest moments in comedy history.
